With less than two weeks until the final decision is made, here's a look at two possible candidates.
There may be two front-runners for the title, Philadelphia's Mike Vick and New England's Tom Brady; with it already being understood that Michael Vick will win the Comeback Player of the Year Award...my opinion; how close is he to winning an MVP Award?
The gap between the two may be closer than many understand; the first statistic that stands out is Brady's lack of interceptions on the season. Brady only has 4 INTs on the year and hasn't thrown a pick since October 17, also setting an NFL-record six straight games without a turnover.
In addition, Brady leads the NFL with his passer rating of 109.9 and 31 TD's; Brady, with his accuracy, gives the Patriots the opportunity to score on every drive.
The other front runner, Mike Vick, has produced 28 TDs in only 10 games on the season. Vick, only 5 interceptions on the season, with a passer rating of 103.6 (3rd in the NFL), will have a valid argument come voting time.
Michael Vick, after leading a 21-point comeback during the final 8 minutes last Sunday against the Giants has shown courage under fire; but more importantly, his ability to make necessary changes to his play, in order to make himself a better NFL quarterback. Throw in his 613 rushing yards, and Vick's run at this year's MVP only becomes stronger.
As the end of the year approaches and statistics, wins, heart, and courage are measured, we also need to remember the fact that Vick missed four games this year with a rib injury; only adding to his already highly productive numbers on the year.
Both quarterbacks still have 2 more games in which they have the opportunity to prove their worthiness; more importantly, win their last two games and lead their respective teams into the playoffs with a heightened sense of confidence, which should be the most important thing for both players and their teams.
